The Roman Empire
began its system of road building
centuries before lhe Christian

of that Empire she could boasjt o*
50,000 miles of the finest military
roads in the world. The highways
of Engtand before the reign of
Charles the 2nd were narrow
: stretches of peat bay and mire,
Daily fights were common on these
miserable highways between

road, and oftirnes the big! . were'
blocked altogether by-such con ten
tions. When England began her
real development, among the. first
things she did was to transform her
almost impassable roads into splea
didly constructed highways. As
i
this question lived and grew in the
real progress of England, so it did
in all other European countries, and
so it did,and so it does live and
grow with the advancement of our
own country. It is a sad commen
tary on any nation, people or com
mumty that is satisfied with poorly
constructed highways. I am per
suaded Mr. Editor, that a great ma
jonty of our people want good roads
but the question is how are we to
get them. We tried the old systems
and they failed; we are trying new
er systems and they are slow and
unsatisfactory, notwithstanding the

It seems to me that under the

when $70,000'for t%.-.legislature the purchase appropriated of slaves
to be used on the. public highways,
In addition to this she aaded other
sums to carry on this vrork and
when something like $200,000 of
the public money had been thus ex
pended the work was abandoned,
notwithstanding the fact that the
only paid workmen were the over
seers or boss men. Under this ays
tem of superintendents Georgia paid
$200,000 for 200 miles of fairly
gwd roads in the vicinity of Colum

true that Jenkins county takes a
part of our territory and a part of
our public money but this cut oil
from our county leaves the figures
approximately the same. We have
about 20,000 dollars in the trea
sury and a chaingang to do the
hardest and most manual work on
the public roads. It seems to me
that with the $20,000 as a starter
and our annual road taxes added,
we are in a good position to begin
to build up our public highways by
contract, which to my mind is the
only solution of the good roads
question The present system has
never proven a success in state or
county efforts; while the contract
system, properly let to the lowest
bidders, and then bonding said con
tractors not only secures the cheap

start the contract system with what!
we have and when it is necessary ;
for us to have more money to pay;

more money really means more and j
better work at the cheapest cost. !

“where there’s a will there’s al

the folks were preparing the land

Among others who took part in
planting the trees were Messrs,

old men working with the delight

this effort to beautify the church
